Operating of the superconducting integrated receiver channel of the TELIS atmospheric sounder. ... The noise temperature of the SIR was measured to be as low as 120 K, with an intermediate frequency band of 4 ­ 8 GHz in double sideband operation; the spectral resolution is well below 1 MHz. The SIR was implemented in the three-channel balloon-borne instrument TELIS (TErahertz and submillimeter LImb Sounder) that detects spectral emission lines of stratospheric trace gases (like ClO and BrO). ...

... Analysis of the UVIS03 data show that the gain ratios, relative to the nominal 1.5 , are 1.01-1.04, 2.09-2.15, and 4.28-4.39 at a detector temperature of -82C. A check of the absolute gain of the nominal 1.5 setting was performed using flatfields from the linearity (UVIS05) test; gains were measured at 1.53, 1.52, 1.56, and 1.55, with errors 0.01 , for quadrants A,B,C, and D. Introduction The purpose of the ... Gain ratios for the four quadrants, relative to gain 1.5. ...

OptInt PmWiki : MROI Fast Tip Tilt / Tech Meet 11 . ... This meeting is intended as an initial brainstorm on how we will perform the component and integrated tests in the PDR phase. ... How to measure movement of mount versus movement of optic in mount? ... Most tests should be conducted here in the lab but we could use COAST for some tests, particularly a system level test using a pin-hole at one end of the tables and the base-plate, optics and camera arrangement at the other end. ...

This page is a mirror of the ION SADS page available at http://sads.cnes.fr:8010 . Besides the information already available on this page, there you can browse the ION QuickLook images. ... The ION experiment flown on the Interball-Aurora mission performs simultaneous ion and electron measurements. Two mass spectrometers looking in opposing directions perpendicular to the satellite spin axis, which points toward the sun, measure ions in the mass and energy ranges 1-32 amu and ~ 0 to 14,000 eV. ...

... The results are used in quasireal time by the observing process, but also as input by hardware quality control, by the dynamical scheduler, and by the Science Pipeline. Among processing operations are the calibration of the atmospheric absorption, of phase radiometric correction, of pointing scans, of phase and amplitude reference measurements, .. ... Using the last few measurements, we will determine a provisional amplitude calibration curve (to be also used by the Quick Look pipeline). ...

... Measurements of fluctuations of the streamwise and vertical components of wind velocity were performed by two-component sonic anemometer of continuous radiation with capacitor microphones. Measurements of temperature fluctuations were performed with the aid of resistance thermometer. ... Average wind velocity at the 5 meters height was about 5 m/s. With the aid of multichannel registrator the simultaneous recordings of pulsations of temperature and velocity components were made. ...
